(Sense-dreams)
How true it is that whatever is learned through material
sense must be lost because such so-called knowledge is
reversed by the spiritual facts of being in
Science. That which material sense calls
intangible, is found to be substance. What to material
sense seems substance, becomes nothingness, as the sense-dream
vanishes and reality appears.
The senses regard a corpse, not as man, but simply as
matter. People say, "Man is dead;" but this death is
the departure of a mortal's mind, not of matter. The
matter is still there. The belief of that mortal that he
must die occasioned his departure; yet you say that
matter has caused his death.
(Vain ecstasies)
People go into ecstasies over the sense of a corporeal
Jehovah, though with scarcely a spark of love in their
hearts; yet God is Love, and without Love,
God, immortality cannot appear. Mortals try
to believe without understanding Truth; yet God is
Truth. Mortals claim that death is inevitable; but man's
eternal Principle is ever-present Life. Mortals believe in
a finite personal God; while God is infinite Love, which
must be unlimited.
(Man-made theories)
Our theories are based on finite premises, which cannot
penetrate beyond matter. A personal sense of God
and of man's capabilities necessarily limits
faith and hinders spiritual understanding. It
divides faith and understanding between matter and Spirit,
the finite and the infinite, and so turns away from the
intelligent and divine healing Principle to the inanimate
drug.
(The one anointed)
Jesus' spiritual origin and his demonstration of divine
Principle richly endowed him and entitled him to sonship
